The spray area of a water broom is 21, the maximum allowable gallon per minute consumption can be no more than 2.10 GPM Payback only where air is a feasible substitute for water. Cycles of concentration will be assessed by measuring conductivity of make-up and bleed water. Float valves must be routinely checked and the equipment operational and free of leaks. Retrofit required if < 2-yr. payback calculated using savings estimates derived from potential for increasing cycles of concentration. Internal metering of flows are needed to meet consumption monitoring requirement of significant uses within a facility. Swamp coolers are reccommended most often used in areas where daytime temperatures frequently exceed 100 F. Evaporative coolers continually use water. In areas with limited water supplies, water-use impact of adding an evaporative cooler needs to be considered. Retrofit required only where water saving potential and costs can be reliably estimated and for measure(s) with < 2-year simple payback period. Internal metering of flows is needed to meet consumption monitoring requirement of significant uses within a facility.

5 Other Outdoor Uses Vehicle Washing Reduce overall water use wherever possible by on-site recycling. Use non-potable water sources for make-up water where available. Water efficiency benchmark is to use no more than 40 gallons of make-up water per vehicle (except for buses and larger vehicles). Where alternate non-potable water sources of suitable quality are available, such as municipal reclaimed water, these water sources should be utilzed to reduce the demand on potable water resources. Pools and Spas Pavement Cleaning On-site reuse of wash water and wastewater pre-treatment or off-site vehicle washing at facility with reuse and pretreatment systems. An additional area for water conservation is the towel and chamois washers used at many facilities offering wipe-down service after the car is washed and rinsed. The wash bin is often operated under continous flow of water with an overflow drain allowing thousands of gallons of water to be wasted every day. All such washers should include a high level shutoff to stop water flow before water levels reach the overflow drain, or include a metered fill valve to shut off the water when unattended. Pool covers recommended. No leakage and efficient filter backwash water usage. If heated, reduce your pool and spa water temperature to save water and energy costs. Warmer water evaporates more quickly. Manually clean your filter. A more thorough job is done and uses less water. The average backwash uses between 250 to 1,000 gallons (.95 m3 to 3.78 m3) of water -- without completely cleaning the filter. When the pool is filling, be sure to keep an eye on the water level. Forgetting to shut off fill water can make for a costly waste of water. Common locations for leaks are where the pool and pipes are joined, at separations along the pool top, in the water supply and return lines to the filtration system, and in the liner, sidewalls and floor of the pool itself. Leaks are also found around the pump seals and o-rings. Installing a water meter on the pool makeup line is the most effective way of monitoring water use and detecting leaks. Sweep outside area with brooms, sweepers or if necessary a water broom. No cleaning with hoses and hose-end nozzles except where required for sanitation purposes. Revised June 2016
